Hello Louda, I too have been placed in WRAG, I can only say I hope you get the same reception at your jobcentre that I did. The lady immediately said she could see I wasn't in a position to attend any work related interviews or activity, and has let me know she won't be in touch for quite some time. Her attitude really surprised me and I hope that you meet with the same understanding I did,

Best wishes, Foggy x

I'm off to job centre today with help with updating my cv.

I've been in part time work for the last 3 years but it hasn't helped my condition, in fact somedays I've felt much worse. I'm so not sire what to do next.

I receive DLA but feel I should be doing something also if I don't who pays my national insurance stamp towards my state pension??
